RAVEN WOLF needs our help

Donation protected
Hello, I am RAVEN WOLF C. FELTON JENNINGS II.
I ugently need to raise funds to avoid foreclosure on my home of 16 years. I am  deeply humbled. this is really painful for me. I have never, ever, been in a position like this before.
I have always been able to keep a smile on my face and share that smile with everyone I meet. I am very moved, by an awesome reality, many of you have become good Friends both near and dear to my heart. I am grateful and honored to be your Friend and Family ...smile. 

As I face possible foreclosure at this time, I know in my heart that your donation/gift is a blessing. Your continued good thoughts, your love and your prayers towards the successful completion of my goal are also greatly appreciated. Thank You so very much (smile). I am deeply humbled.

Thursday, April 23rd, 2015 is my revised Deadline. Please help me reach my goal and reinstate my home loan.

I have just experienced the worst of winters. This most recent winter was especially rough, it really hurt! It brought with it fewer days to share/work, an unexpected automotive repair (a clutch), a drive into and through 2 major snow storms and the expenses on my return trip from my brother' s,  Harlan LeRoy Jennings,  funeral in Cleveland, Ohio.  
This is not easy for me, it has taken so much of my inner strength, to share my appeal for your help and support. I have worked very hard, very long hours, to “get it done” and not trouble my Family and Friends. This is, without exception, the most painful truth that I have ever had to make myself face, that I cannot do this by myself. I ask this of each of you in all of the communities that hold me dear to your heart.

A little about myself. I am a Healing Sound Recording Artist,  my goal is to heal the world one heart at a time. I share “Spiritual Jazz” via a Magical Mystical Meditation Concert. I will often spending 7 to 17 hours sharing on the street at a time.
I am a Missouri Touring Performer approved by the Missouri Arts Council and I have been touring, as well as participating in many community events throughout the Midwest for the past 10 years. I share “Spiritual Jazz” as often as 5 to 14 days before resting. These are long hours, yes, and I quite often share “Spiritual Jazz” outdoors year-round. I share even through our Missouri winters, at The Historical Soulard Farmer’s Market, The Historic Wainwright Building and Vintage Vinyl in St. Louis, Missouri, and at The City Market in Kansas City, Missouri.
I travel every week throughout the State of Missouri, beginning in Columbia on Fridays, St. Louis on Saturdays and in Kansas City on Sundays. I have also shared “Spiritual Jazz” at the A-Frame at Les Bourgeois Winery in Rocheport (on Sundays for more than 4 years).

I share ‘Spiritual Jazz’ in our communities at major events such as the True/False Film Festival in Columbia, as well as Earth Day in Columbia. I a share at Lakota Coffee Company on South 9th Street, Lucky’s Market, Broadway Brewery, the Blue Note in Columbia, Missouri.
I share “Spiritual Jazz meets PoJazz” (5 years) with Poet and Publisher of The Webster-Kirkwood Times, Dwight Bitikofer at The Kirkwood Train Station, Webster Groves High School, The Focal Point and The Stone Spiral Coffee and Curios in Maplewood, Missouri.

I am very active and involved in efforts for Peace and Love. ”Love is the Gift”. I share at The Center for Spiritual Living, at The Living Insights Center and also at World Peace Day at Central Reform Congregation in St. Louis, Missouri (which is scheduled on December 31st at 6am, I’ve been involved since 2006)
I have produced 2 Albums, “Spiritual Jazz …on South 9th Street” , and “Connections” on the Pug Dog Records Label. My albums “Spiritual Jazz …on South 9th Street” and “Connections” have both been awarded “Best New Music 2012” in the New Age Music Genre. These albums receive air play on KOPN 89.5FM Columbia, KDHX 88.1FM in St. Louis and at KJLU 88.9FM in Jefferson City. Listen to my Debut Album on the JukeBox at Broadway Diner in Columbia, Missouri.

I believe in honest effort and hard work and I do the work with gladness in my heart. Lew Prince and Tony Renner (at Vintage Vinyl) refer to me as the “hardest working man in show business”.  I give of time to many charitable events eachyear.
Being known as “the hardest working man in show business” is nice. However, at the end of the day, despite all of my hard work, being there ready to go in all kinds of weather, working faithfully/gladly each day, I still find myself falling behind financially. 
I love my home. and so, I appeal to you…please donate, Thank you.

Thursday, April 23rd, 2015 is my revised Deadline. Please help me reach my goal and reinstate my home loan.

My story begins back on Friday, April 13th, 2009. When my job of 5 years, with Rotometrics, was first downsized and then, 7 months later, terminated on Friday, April 13th. I was a Finisher for a great Tool and Die Company called Roto-Die. I was employed as a “Finisher” in Roto-Die’s Finishing Department. I worked with good people and great Friends and I miss them very much. Then it happened, Department cuts, throughout the plant. I will never forget the summer of 2008 …wow! I was offered the opportunity to stay and retrain, as a Machinist, on the computerized machines that replaced me …ironic (smile). Rob Betz trained me and we’re still good Friends.
…Wait!, my story actually begins 5 years before all of that ...when my wife, Linda Hayes (Linda-Linda), (she was such a good person I would say her name twice (smile)), God bless her, was diagnosed with Cancer, Lymphoma in her head and neck on November 4th, 2003. I will never forget that day. We were shocked, no!, we were devastated. Our lives were changed. We talked it over and over. I would stop being a Full-Time Musician and go back to work. She elected to do radiation treatments which progressed to chemotherapy treatments. She always said “it worked when I was 18”. She was a Cancer Survivor. Rest in peace my Love (Linda Hayes: May 11th, 1951- February 19th, 2007).
I went back to work at Roto-Die in October 2004. I was re-hired by Phillip Morris, a good man and a dear Friend. He was there for me when Linda-Linda past and also there for me when my Mother past, Rest in peace Mom (Leslie Jean Jennings: September 23rd, 1929- July 23rd, 2007).
For me, 2007 was a very tough year. Experiencing the death of my Wife and then my Mother, I was totally devastated. I stop playing music. I could not play a single note without crying …so I stopped.
I will never forget that summer day when Mae ‘Lady Jazz’ Wheeler pulled me aside and said to me “Felton (she always called me Felton) why aren’t you playing?” I was known then as C. Felton (which is my middle name). I shared with Mae that my Wife and Mother had passed and that “I just can’t play anymore …all I do is cry”. I continued saying “Mae, I cry and cry, every time I pick up my Saxophone to play …I have tried Mae, I am trying …it’s just so hard”. As I was crying, yet again, Mae said to me “Felton, you have got to start playing again. It’s the only-est thing that will bring you back”. Mae Wheeler was “great” and “gracious”, a good Friend in my life, as well as a Legendary St. Louis Jazz Singer. Rest in Peace Mae “Lady Jazz” Wheeler: May 15th, 1934 – June 15th, 2011.
It was also on Friday, February 13th, 2009 that I had decided that I would again pursue my music fulltime. This was not at all easy. I had to begin again from almost nothing. I had stopped playing for 19 months.
I started playing again on Tuesday, February 17th, 2009. Mae “Lady Jazz” Wheeler was absolutely right that “playing again” would bring me back. With hard work and long hour I have played my way back into live and living. It was 2 years before I heard my sound again (smile). The rest you know (smile)
I have appealed to you from the depth of my heart with my deepest faith, strength and courage …I need your help. I ask this of each of you in all of the communities that hold me dear to their hearts.
Please donate and help me avoid foreclosure. Please help me hold onto my home of 16 years. I hope you will.

Again, Thursday, April 23rd, 2015 is my revised Deadline. Please help me reach my goal and reinstate my home loan.
